It's been nearly a decade since I've seen the original Critters. I hated it so much at the time, I've never bothered to watch the rest of the series. However, this viewing of Critters 2 has me thinking I need to revisit it. I enjoyed the second film way more than I had anticipated.

Horror geek punchline Mick Garris is surprisingly strong behind the camera in his first theatrical outing. I mean, he's straight up plagiarizing Joe Dante, but the imitation is impressive. There's not a lot of non-Spielberg produced films that can get…

Alright finally back on track with watching my horror series...serieses....Seri? Anyways Critters 2 was as much fun as the first one although kind of dumber than it.

Not that Critters was a smart film by any standard, it just felt more compact, and flowed better. Critters 2 packs in more gags, with the ex-sheriff being funnier, the characters that the second bounty hunter turns into, and even a few critter gags, but unlike the first one where they lay siege on the farm house, this time they are after the whole town. Also unlike the first one, I enjoyed the setup of this film, with the Easter egg premise...which reminds me, how many horror films take place on Easter, can't…

I had some kind of weird sexual awakening to this film when I was about 10 years old. My friends and I would watch this all the time on a dodgy VHS I'd taped off the telly; we'd constantly rewind and rewatch the part where the bounty hunter transforms into the Playboy model and her boobs pop out. It must have been the first time I was introduced to the beautiful female form. God know what happened though, I turned out to be a massive homosexual!

As far as sequels to cheesy 80's Sci-Fi comedy-horrors go, Critters 2 is actually quite enjoyable. I've always had a soft spot for this franchise and I like how this sequel explores how the…

I watch this every Easter. It's the best of all the Critters movies. It takes everything from the first and ramps it up to the extreme. The only thing the first has on it is Billy Zane. At least the sequel has Lars from Heavyweights. The comedy is a million times better, as well as everything else. It's fucking great.

All right. Not Oscar bait. Red haired heroes don't work. I wanted the critters to win. At least it didn't have the bullshit, everything is fixed, ending of the first movie. Was it trying to make a vegetarian statement?

Mick Garris upped the gore and the humor and made a sequel that has no right being as fun as it is. It's no masterpiece, but it's certainly an enjoyable movie if not taken too seriously. I actually prefer it over the first film.

"Aw, this is great. The Easter Bunny with his Tehachapi hanging out." Goofy sequel to "Critters" that is also inexplicably an Easter movie. I think I like this more than the first one- there seems to be more action and more Critters at any rate. I'm surprised they carry over a lot of continuity from the original movie. A half hour in it gets all rated-R for some reason. This flick has more false finishes than Lord of the Rings. That "Hungry Heifer" jingle will get stuck in your head. Extra points for Eddie Deezen cameo.

The low-budget "Gremlins" knockoff about carnivorous porcupines from outer space was a sleeper hit in 1986, and anyone who knows anything about the movie industry knew that a sequel could be far behind. "Critters 2" maintains the campy feel of the throwback to the science fiction films of the 1950's, but there is more of a nasty edge to the new film that makes it feel even more like a weak copy of the Joe Dante classic.

A pair of talented filmmakers just starting out in the industry cut their teeth on this picture, and David Twohy and Mick Garris get the credit for making this as much fun as it is. Most of the corny jokes work, and the…
